Inaugurated on 4 November 1737 – replacing the Teatro San Bartolomeo (built 1621) - the Teatro S. Carlo was the most important opera house in Naples and, arguably, in Italy at mid-century.
Although the interior of the theatre was destroyed by fire in 1816, the façade was largely undamaged and remained as Mozart would have seen it.
